"This is a bad idea Naruto." Kiba warned as they continued swimming.

"Aw, you scared Kiba." Naruto teased flipping in front of his friend, then continuing to swim straight. "Scaredy fish!" He yelled back.

"What'd you say?!" Kiba yelled gaining speed, then when he caught up hit his friend on the head.

Naruto rubbed the spot on his head that Kiba just hit before looking at the shipwrecks in front of them. Naruto took the sight in before swimming closer to one of the ships.

"Whoa!" Kiba screamed grabbing Naruto's orange fins. "You're not going over there!? That's human stuff! You out of everyone should know not to you're-"

Kiba didn't get to finish as his friend pulled his tail out of his grip. "Yeah yeah, I've heard it all before Kiba now if you want to stay here, go ahead but I'm going in there."

With that he swam off and into one of the ships. Kiba panicked and followed Naruto into the ship. He'd be in trouble if he left Naruto alone; the guy would probable kill himself.

"Naruto? Where are you dude?" Kiba called out cautiously, taking all the human things. There were paintings with smeared paint, chest's, jars and other little things. "Naruto?"

"I'm over here." Naruto poked his head down from the ceiling; Kiba threw himself into the opposite wall with wide eyes.

"AHHH! Naruto! Don't do that to me!" Kiba put a hand to his heart then began to catch his breath. Naruto swam over to his friend laughing, as Kiba patted down his brown hair.

"Man you really are a catfish." Naruto stated stopping his laughing fit.

"I am not! It's just..." Kiba gestured to all the human items. "these are human items, there...human items." He emphasized the last part of the sentence hoping it would string a cord.

It was forbidden to ever go to the surface or even touch any human belongings. And here was the Prince of the East Sea roaming around a human ship collecting human belongings. Oh the joys of being the Prince's best friend, right?

"There just trinkets, they won't bite. And as you said I would know." Naruto stated, and went around picking things up and studying them.

"That's not something to brag about Nar..." Kiba stopped and looked towards the window he squeezed through to get in earlier.

"What?" Naruto asked after Kiba fell silent, but he didn't turn around he still studied the item in his hand.

Kiba hushed him and studied the outside of the window. Then he backed away slowly trying not to make a lot of bobbles with his red tail.

"Naruto make sure you don't hurt yourself ok?" Kiba explained calmly then turned to see Naruto sucking on his right pointer finger. His eyes widened "What are you doing?!" He asked some what quietly.

Naruto pulled out his finger; it was cut slightly leaking out a small amount of blood. "I cut my finger a little, but it doesn't hurt so it's not going to kill me or anything." Naruto explained then continued to suck on his finger.

"Naruto you idiot! There are-"

"SHARK!" Naruto yelled then swam away frantically, Kiba turned to see a pair of jaws about to clamp down on him, he screamed then followed after Naruto's air bubbles.

They swam around the corridors of the ship for some time, Naruto reached out and grabbed an item that had caught his eye then Kiba pulled on his arm and pushed him through a busted window, he followed right after. They swam around trying to loose the shark for awhile before Kiba thought of a plan.

He grabbed Naruto's arm and hurled Naruto downward. Naruto being caught off guard spiraled downward until he stopped; he shook his head and saw the shark heading right down on him. He panicked and swam as fast as he could off to the side. The shark couldn't turn in time and hit his head against an anchor head.

Naruto took deep breathes trying to calm down as he swam up to Kiba. Naruto hit Kiba over the head, and screamed. "You stupid jerk! You threw me to down to get eaten!"

Kiba rubbed his new bruise, "I figured you'd dodge it anyway, and you're fine." He gave Naruto a smile, Naruto crossed his arms and pouted. "Hey, what ya got there?" Kiba asked pointing to the object Naruto had a death grip on, in his left hand.

Naruto looked at the item as he loosened his hold, tearing it more. "I don't know." He shrugged then got a huge smile on his face. "But I bet Pakkun would!"

Kiba's eyes doubled in size, but before he could protest Naruto started to swim to the surface.

"Naruto!" Kiba yelled swimming after him. "Hold up will ya?!"

They finally made it to where Pakkun would meet them. Naruto stayed in the water his head pointing out. His wet blond hair fell onto his face, same with Kiba and his brown hair. The out of the bushes up on shore, came Pakkun.

Pakkun trotted out onto the shallow part of the water and sat down, ready to answer Naruto's questions.

"Hey Pakkun!" Naruto greeted smiling. Kiba waved his hand lightly before immediately sticking it back into the water.

"Hi Naruto, So what do you have toady?" Naruto held out the drenched object. Pakkun studied it in Naruto's hand. It was rolled up paper tied together by a red sting that had beads at the end.

"That's obviously a scroll." Pakkun explained.

"A scroll?" Naruto asked not getting it.

"Yes Naruto you see when humans want something they pull these out and then poof out come whatever you want."

"Anything they want?" Naruto asked eagerly, sticking his upper body out of the water.

"Yup." Naruto smiled then opened the scroll Kiba made a sound of protest but stopped when nothing happened.

"Pakkun why didn't it work?" Naruto asked disappointed.

"Oh of course! In order for these to work a human must first mark it with some form of...potatoes."

"Potatoes?" Kiba and Naruto asked.

"It's human food." Pakkun explained. Naruto and Kiba made an 'o' with there mouths before Naruto snapped up, sitting straight up.

"Crap! The banquet!" Naruto yelled before diving back into the water with Kiba behind him. Leaving Pakkun wet and confused.
